Sunshine at last

It's been a long, cold, wet spring and summer hasn't arrived in the Pacific NW yet so this guy seemed to be intent on sucking up all the light he could get...In a swampy section of Ridgefield NWR, Ridgefield, WA.

Great shot Dave, I was looking so intently if these are acutally two herons. Wait, is this a heron?

Yup, one heron, great blue variety....

The same one taking a bow in Thank you.....

great capture Dave, no summer here either.

That's interesting, Dave, because our herons start doing this when it gets very hot and want/need to cool off. Never knew they could and do use it the other way around as well. Thanks for sharing.

Getting the solar panels out Great shot.

Great capture Dave.

I guess it would work either way. It sure wasn't hot here Saturday.

Powering up for something, that's for sure.
